    Old Dominion University will win the Colonial Conference tourny.

    Grab the future when the tourny starts.

    This team does the most underrated stat, at an unbelievable clip

    Averaging 15 offensive rebounds a game. Thats 15 extra possessions a game. Trust me, it makes a difference.

    Look a pitt Panthers, they get many offnsive rebounds b/c their big man crashes the boards with authority.


    Your welcome.

    I definately think it's between them and George Mason. But my lean is ODU.

    VCU has home court advantage, but Mason throttled them in Richmond, and also beat ODU by double figures. Mason is the likely winner.

    The CAA is no joke... if they don't get AT LEAST two teams in it would be a travesty. Nobody from a major conference would want to see them in the tourney

    OD is good, but like an earlier poster said don't forget about George Mason. OD has done well for me at the book, but George Mason's 21-6 ats has pulled me out of a jam or 2.

    I watched ODU crush VCU on the road a couple weeks ago, very impressive. Fun conference to watch.

    I like the Colonial this year. Old Dominion. George Mason. VCU. Even Drexel and Hofstra aren't bad. They could make noise in the NCAA tourny. And I am going to keep an eye out for them in the NIT too -- they might have a team or two in there too, I'm thinking.

    The good news for ODU is that it is likely Mason, VCU, and Drexel (the teams that give ODU the most problems matchup wise) will all be on the opposite side of the bracket. Mason and ODU have split the 2 meetings this year, each winning on the other team's floor. If that is the final it will be interesting because ODU has an outstanding defense EXCEPT for defending the 3, where they blow chunks, and Mason can shoot very well from behind the arc. Teams often struggle shooting in that dump known as the Richmond Coliseum, so things are setting up as best they can for the Monarchs.

    I like ODU's chances and while Mason will obviously be the favorite, I suspect ODU will hold the best value. Several teams have a chance to win, though.

    Agree with Zephyr that Colonial has been a competitive mid-major conference this year. There are no Butlers in this group,but several that could surprise in a given game. ODU wins conf. tourney and Mason gets upset before the big one.

    I really like this conference. I think it's between ODU and George Mason. I don't think VCU or Hofstra can get it done.

    I like this call. They are experienced, they rebound and they play defense. Don't discount the fact that their top 8 players are all juniors and seniors, which goes a long way in tournament play. Very underrated team in my opinion.

    If they both make it to chamionship, GM will be a 2 pt. favorite.

    Well they couldn't make a 3 or a free throw. You can't win doing that!

    ODU will be my only play on Monday.

    I have a future with them +250 to win Colonial. But I think VCU shot their load. Beating a ranked George Mason in a double revenge game.

    Looking into this game tonight. VCU hit 11 3 pointers against GMason. GMason bottled up the inside and VCU had no choice but shoot the 3. What are the chances that ODU is gonna let that happen because ODU will win the rebounding edge. Just hope ODU can guard the 3 point line.

    VCU will have home court edge and the fans on their side.

    I may be on ODU as well. They've won 8 in a row and are playing really well. I dont think VCU can beat GM and ODU on consecutive days... "shot their load" hahah nice analogy
